| In Discovering David’s Destiny, Dr. Winters uses every facet of King David’s life to demonstrate God’s grace and mercy, taking this Old Testament story of one man’s journey through life and making it applicable to every human being who seeks an encounter with God. He makes David and Old Testament cast around him come alive, and gleans from their lives insightful lessons for God’s people today. While this is an Old Testament story, there is nothing “Old” about Dr. Winters’ commentary. It’s as fresh and modern as today’s news; and he never balks at telling it like it is. After reading this book, you will never again look at the story of David as you did.

Overcoming Mediocrity: A Challenge To African American Youth
Timothy J. Winters
Christian Growth Ministries, $10
While Overcoming Mediocrity is applicable to people of all races, it particularly addresses the weakened spiritual, moral, and cultural condition of African American ethnicity; and more especially, younger African Americans. Nothing is more grievous to those of us who with every ounce of our energy and intellect labored to overcome mediocrity. Also, nothing is more grave and threatening to the future of African Americans as low self-esteem and misplaced values that have become residents in the lives of too many younger Brothers and Sisters.
Overcoming Mediocrity belongs in the home and library of every African American. It is relevant in that it is written in understandable language. It is relevant in that it addresses the problems of the African American community. It is rich in biblical and theological soundness. It is resourceful in that it is applicable to all aspects of the human situation. My hope is that this book will reach the homes of all who need it; and reach the hearts of all who read it.
KEY POINTS:
Parents are encouraged to:
Ø Pray with children for God’s direction
Ø Dialogue with them on vocations
Ø Help them discover their destiny
Ø Teach them to work as onto the Lord
Living above Mediocrity:
Ø Taking action in your life
Ø Realizes that no action continues mediocrity
Ø Takes responsibility for all actions
Opportunities and Opposition:
Ø Always comes in pairs when you move forward
Ø Learn to tune out negativity
Ø Tune in positive affirmations
Ø Acknowledge the risks, but seek the rewards
Low Self Esteem:
Ø Direct contributor to low achievement
Ø Must be broken with positive affirmations
Ø Contrasts God’s Divine Plan for our lives.
It’s Never too late:
Ø God will meet us where we are
Ø Nobody can save us, but ourselves
Ø God stands waiting to lead us to higher ground.

is pastor of the Bayview Baptist Church in San Diego, California. He is a dynamic and inspirational Gospel Preacher. His powerful Bible-based sermons directed toward “Reaching the Lost, Teaching the Saved to Serve” make him one of the most sought after preachers in the nation. Pastor Winters’ deep knowledge and understanding of the Word coupled with the ability to make it plain has earned him the reputation as an outstanding Bible expositor. He has done extensive research and conducted numerous seminars and workshops in the area of Christian Money Management (Debt-Free Living), Evangelism and Discipleship, and Church Growth. Pastor Winters’ leadership and influence are nationally acclaimed.
Pastor Winters is a graduate of San Diego City College, United States International University (U.S.I.U), and Glendale Graduate School of Theology. December 1997. He was called to the ministry in 1969, ordained in 1971 and called to Bayview Baptist Church in June 1973. He received his Doctor of Ministry from the United Theological Seminary in Dayton, Ohio in December 1977. Under his leadership and ministry, Bayview has grown from a membership of fewer than 60 families that met in a converted three-bedroom house to a vibrant, thriving, and growing congregation of over 2,500. The church edifice is now a multi-level, multi-purpose building that accommodates an audience of 1,200. Each Sunday, Bayview Church holds two morning worship services. The Lord adds to the church daily. Baptisms are witnessed every Lord’s Day!
Further testaments of Pastor Winters’ ministry are two churches that were “planted” as a result of his visionary leadership. Mesa View Baptist and Mountain View Community are both now thriving independent congregations.
The 40,000 square foot Martin Luther King, Jr. Christian Center was completed in May 1995 to accommodate Bayview’s ever-expanding Christian Education ministry (, comma removed from behind ministry) and to meet the needs of the community. It houses Nubia Leadership Academy, the first church-based Charter School in California. Nubia began September 1997 with an enrollment of 170 students in grades K-5. Currently, Nubia has an enrollment of over 400 in grades K-6.
